This is what I'm thinking. I imagine, and even postulated early on, that he would receive a deferred sentence, but with his antics and how long he's dragged this out, I now imagine the asshole tax is going from a deferred to suspended plea offer. In my humble opinion this would still be devastating to Nick's ego.
I don't know about Kandiyohi County, but I have seen court proceedings in other jurisdictions where simply saying "Guilty" is not enough. The judge will sit there and ask you questions about the crime, and if you're not actually accepting guilt, they won't take your plea.
People express this type of sentiment all the time but I'm not sure I necessarily agree (although I understand the logic). Being in the Rekieta household gives them a certain baseline of constancy, I'll admit, but it also sets a very low upper limit for their performance in life as they'll emerge into adulthood as homeschooled iPad babies with enormous unresolved internal and familial conflicts (or worse: they'll see nothing wrong with their parents behaviour and emulate it). I'm not sure rolling the dice and putting them with relatives or the foster system is worse. At least there's a chance they'll break the cycle and become their own person.
It's particularly concerning that he's also likely into meth now as well. I had suspicions he was doing it on and off as early as mid to late last year based off some of his ticks on stream, but now between the references to ice, the 'heat allergy', as well as his demeanor I'm like 90% sure he's been doing it.
It seems the local courts have had zero patience for Ralph the ragepig, so I'm cautiously optimistic they're taking a general hardline stance against sektor bullshit in general.
If he gets a deferred adjuciation offer and turns it down, he is the most colossal retard alive.
Cocaine and crack especially make already violent people more violent, but meth runs that last days can turn even normal people into hallucinating psychotics.
He doesn't specifically have to say this since the facts that establish guilt are merely the presence of unsecured guns and drugs in the house, which presumptively constitute neglect/endangerment by itself. So he'd just have to admit to the presence of the kids in a house with the drugs and guns the cops found.
He's probably been a shitty parent all along, just not on "CPS coming to take your kids away" levels of shitty.
It is inconsistent with the point of the judicial system for a non-guilty person to plead guilty. And liars and weasels about the ultimate question are generally unwelcome regardless of why they lie. There is a particular plea that permits you to claim innocence, but that is rare for a reason. In other cases, a judge is going to confirm that you freely and fully admit guilt before accepting a plea. I've seen a court outright refuse a non-negotiated guilty plea by an unrepresented person because the person should have been offered diversion (commission of the crime was undeniable). That's a different scenario due to the lack of counsel, but the point is that judges are guardians and caretakers of the system and its principles. They also don't want some random shite coming up later about how the person did not make a fully free and informed decision when adding a potentially life-altering conviction to their life.
I think that what fucks Melton as well. They are sick of these assholes, not only that on Karls recent show Melton was basically telling the "pigs to come get him" yeah man they will take that real well.
I assumed this is normal across the board. A guilty plea isn't supposed to just be "save myself the trouble of a trial and get a reduced sentence" card. Baked alaska learned this the hard way when during his plea deal hearings he started protesting his innocence so the judge told him plea deal is off if he's seriously contending he's innocent.
Every first offender will catch a break on these kind of charges, unless they were also distributing the drugs.
Just a few more months and Nick will claim the drugs abused him instead of the other way around.
This. I was skeptical in June about getting bodycam but a loud chorus said it was imminent. I didn't see it in the statute.
Hey, that's not factually accurate! Actually he fantasized about 10yo girl starting Onlyfans in five years....oh
Nah. Prosecutor can't talk to him. If he tried, prosecutor would contact the Barneswalker and let them know about the attempted improper contact and ask them to tardwrangle their client.
That would be a non-starter if I was the prosecutor. Either plead guilty, waive appeal or go to trial. No way I'd accept a plea where I still have to spend the money/resources to fight an appeal. If Nick wants to appeal, he can pay for a trial and establish everything he wants to appeal.
